FILTON
LIVE-IN CARE YOU CAN TRUST IN THE HOME THAT YOU LOVE
We have been providing care services throughout Filton for over 50 years. Our reputation is built on high standards of live-in care in Filton, local expertise and an approach to care delivery that is trusted by families throughout our community and beyond. All our carers are experienced and most have worked for us for many years. They will live with you for a longer period than might be offered by other live-in care providers, which allows for a deeper understanding of our clients’ needs and ensures continuity of care. We are experts in providing specialist care of complex conditions, like dementia, Parkinson’s or Multiple Sclerosis (MS) or for those recovering from a stroke or for those who need cancer care or palliative care.

THE HOME YOU LOVE IS BEST FOR
PERSONALISED ONE-TO-ONE CARE

With an Oxford Aunts carer you will be able to live life your way with as much independence as possible, with a tailored plan of care delivered by a compassionate carer on a one-to-one basis – this just simply cannot be offered in a care home.

CARE MANAGEMENT IN FILTON
A fully managed and regulated live-in care service
Our fully managed live-in care service in Filton means that all our carers are employed by us whilst they care for you. A local care management team of care experts is on hand to provide support to not just to our clients’ and their family members, but also our carer to ensure the highest quality care is provided. We are also regulated by the Care Quality Commission (CQC), unlike introduction agencies who will simply provide you with a carer for you to manage yourself. We are proud to have been rated ‘Good’ by CQC in all five measures – safe, caring, effective, responsive and well-led. We know our service provides families with peace and mind that their loved one is receiving the best possible care and eases the burden of managing a care arrangement themselves for their loved one.
Expertly trained carers in Filton
All our dedicated carers receive marketing leading training developed by care experts, which goes beyond mandatory training. This enables our carers to support those living with complex conditions, such as dementia or Parkinson’s that require more monitoring, care and support. From induction training, into placement and beyond and we ensure our carers continually develop their knowledge and skills so that our clients receive the best possible care now and in the future.
Local, dedicated care management near you
We provide live-in care in Filton and its surrounding counties. Each regional team is made up of a dedicated Care Assessor local to you who is on hand to provide an unrivalled level of support to you, your family and our carer. They are supported by a Care Manager at our central office who handles all other aspects of care delivery to ensure a quality service is delivered, every time.
Our care management team in Filton only has a small portfolio of clients to support, enabling the care team to provide a highly personalised and quality live-in care service in Filton and beyond, whilst clients receive more levels of monitoring and day-to-day support.
A multidisciplinary approach
As an established live-in care provider in Filton, we have built strong relationships with local healthcare professionals, including GP’s, district nurses, local Clinical Commissioning Groups and other charitable organisations and community healthcare services. This means we can provide a multidisciplinary approach to care at home that is focused on improving health and well-being whilst avoiding any unnecessary hospital admissions and enabling swifter discharge from hospital.
We have developed strong relationships with those responsible for hospital discharge at the following hospitals in Gloucestershire:
- Royal Gloucestershire Hospital
- Gloucestershire University Hospital
MEET YOUR LOCAL CARE
MANAGEMENT TEAM IN GLOUCESTERSHIRE
Many of our clients are based in and around Gloucestershire so we have a regional team made up of a Care Assessor and Care Manager who can support you and your family whilst we are providing live-in care to you.
As Care Manager at Oxford Aunts, I am responsible for ensuring our clients and their families have a dedicated point of contact who truly understands their requirements and can support their service. I have a deep understanding of our carers, not just in terms of their skills and experience, but their personalities and values. This means I can effectively match our carers with clients to ensure, not just their care needs are met but that the carer is aligned to how the client wishes to live their life. I work closely with our Care Assessor which means our clients have a highly personalised care plan that accurately reflect their needs. As part of our multidisciplinary approach to care I work closely with other healthcare professionals, including district nurses, physiotherapist and occupational therapists to ensure a holistic approach to care delivery.
As a Registered Manager, I have an NVQ Level 4 and LMC Award.
As a Care Assessor at Oxford Aunts, I am responsible for ensuring our clients can live well in their own homes with care and support from our live-in carer, whilst providing the client, their families and our carers any support they may need.

OTHER REASONS TO CHOOSE OXFORD AUNTS FOR HIGH-QUALITY LIVE-IN CARE
Expert carer matching
Over the past 50 years we have established a reputation for matching carers with our clients to ensure they meet all their needs – this is not just about matching skills, but making sure personalities are aligned so both client and carer can enjoy life together. Depending on the level of care required, it will determine not just the cost of your care, but the experience we expect your carer to have to ensure the high standards of care we are renowned for throughout Filton and beyond.
Continuity of care makes all the difference
Our carers will come and live with you to provide care and support for a longer period than might be offered by other live-in care providers.
